What to Expect

We know your visit to Essex Baptist Church will be a great one.  Whether you're exploring what it means to follow Jesus or a life-long disciple of Jesus Christ or somewhere in-between, there are many warm, friendly faces to greet you and make you feel at home.  Feel free to browse our site for information, contact us to ask questions, or stop by and visit us in person on Sunday morning.  We look forward to meeting you and being a blessing to you!

You will always find:
  • sincere greetings 
  • corporate worship (during the pandemic we are using videos with lyrics so you can follow along - masks must be worn) 
  • pastoral prayer
  • Biblical messages focused on Christ, His Kingdom, and His mission
  • a place to call your spiritual home

Where to go from here...

  1. Attend - worshipping God and learning in fellowship with others is the best way to enrich your faith and draw close to Him. We meet on Sunday mornings at 10:30am, and again on Thursday evenings. Join us! 
  2. Read your Bible - if you don't have one, we've got an extra copy for you completely free of charge. God’s Word is meant to be read daily and woven throughout our lives. Oh, and if you're wondering, we the ESV (English Standard Version). BTW - if you're looking for devotional material, you can find helpful material here.
  3. Pray - Jesus opened the way for us to have a personal and direct connection with God, so we can talk directly with Him when we pray.  We find it helpful to talk to God about most things, as He is our Father in heaven. We'd be happy to talk to you more about prayer - just drop us an email and let's talk! 
  4. Bring your family - following Jesus is for everyone. No one is left behind because of age or ability. We have a lift for accessibility off our back entrance.
